Sir, - Now that the Government has taken the bold step to deregulate the taxi industry, can we now expect the same for the bus service in Dublin? Given the backlash of protest by the taxi drivers, I would suggest that in order to avoid a similar reaction from drivers at Dublin Bus, this deregulation occur on a phased basis, starting with the 19/19A routes! - Yours, etc.,
Eric Dempsey, Claremont Court, Glasnevin, Dublin 11.
